This professional 1U rack-mountable device provides precise audio routing and zone management for commercial venues like schools, hospitals, restaurants, and fitness facilities. Built under HARMAN’s energy-efficient GreenEdge standards, the mixer features a space-saving, fanless design that ensures silent operation in acoustic environments. It is equipped with Euroblock-type mic/line inputs, consumer-ready unbalanced RCA connections, and configurable output routing to customize sound distribution across independent areas. For automated system management, it supports priority muting and VOX ducking alongside a built-in +27V phantom power supply to accommodate high-performance microphones. The front panel showcases a sleek industrial layout accented by illuminated control rings for effortless volume adjustment in low-light environments.

Beyond its physical configuration flexibility, this matrix mixer streamlines long-term facility management through intuitive remote control options and localized zone tuning. Integrators can hook up optional JBL CSR-V wall controllers via standard Cat5 cabling to the mixer’s dedicated RJ45 ports, allowing venue staff to easily adjust volume or select audio sources directly from the zone itself. Dedicated bass and treble controls per output zone allow fine-tuning of acoustics to balance speech clarity against low-end music performance in acoustically challenging spaces. By pairing an advanced priority ducking engine with robust multi-zone routing, this unit delivers seamless audio distribution for multi-room commercial applications.
